Garrett Wilson or Tee Higgins: Week 8 Start 'Em Sit 'Em picks and fantasy projection

Garrett Wilson and Tee Higgins have similar Fantasy Football outlooks ahead of the Week 8 slate of games. They both serve as the WR2 on their NFL teams, but have provided plenty of value in several weeks of the 2024 season. Here's which one is a a btter pick for starting lineups this week.

Is Garrett Wilson a good fantasy pick in Week 8?

Garrett Wilson got off to a disappointing start to the 2024 Fantasy Football season, finishing outside of the top 25 wide receivers in each of his first four games. He followed that up by breaking out to finish as the TE6 and TE2 in his next two games, but regressed to a TE20 finish in his most recent outing.

The arrival of Davante Adams for the New York Jets may have played a role in Wilson ending his hot streak, but he will look to bounce back in Week 8. He will have a strong chance of doing so against the New England Patriots, one of the worst overall teams in the NFL this season.

Is Tee Higgins a good fantasy pick in Week 8?

Tee Higgins missed the first two games of ther 2024 season for the Cincinnati Bengals and it turned in two consecutive finishes outside of the top 40 wide receivers. He has gotten back on track recently, recording TE5 and TE8 finishes in two of the past three weeks.

A notable trend that supports Higgins having a favorable fantasy outlook for the remainder of the 2024 season is that he leads the team in targets across the past four weeks. He has also been targeted more times than Ja'Marr Chase in each of their past four games, so Higgins could be in line for big results against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.
